As we read Isaiah 53; Mark 10:35-45; John 20:1-30, we see a different type of Savior than the people expected. Jesus was the perfect and promised, yet unexpected Messiah, whose message and example show us how to live today. Jesus showed us that the Christian Life is countercultural. It’s not about authority, it’s not about power, it’s not about being first. It’s about being a Servant. And the Messiah, the King of Kings, lived this life perfectly.
It was always the plan for Jesus to die on the cross to pay for sin. But the plan also always included Jesus not staying dead! By his death and resurrection, He made a way for restoration back to God. Jesus gave his life so that we might live.
For those of us who are in Christ, we have resurrection power living within us. Meaning, the same power that resurrected Jesus lives in us. That’s incredible!! Jesus made a way for any who believe in him to “not perish, but have everlasting life.”
